If you like a good scary story, then this book is for you. Martin's horror anthology made my spine tingle from the very first page. I’ve always been a fan of short stories, especially horror or sci-fi, and Martin does not disappoint. His anthology is reminiscent of the old late TV shows that I love to watch, like Twilight Zone or Tales from the Crypt. There’s something for everybody in this anthology. I’ve always been a fan of stories that show a different perspective of well-known characters, which is why Sun Down is one of my favorites. I loved reading about Dracula’s son in his search for new playmates. It made me chuckle a bit to read that Sun Down would get grounded for playing with mortal children. Martin’s writing entrances the reader from the very beginning, and his ability to deliver a little bit of everything holds the reader’s attention to the very end.
